I agree. I replaced my batteries thinking they were the problem and it ended up being my starter contacts.
I bought the stuff here per this site.

Now my instantaneous start is back.

I bought both the solenoid contacts and the brushes. If you buy the brushes, don't cut the wires from the old brushes really close like it shows in the instructions, leave some wire to play with.
